Governor Holden's Proclamation.
In our paper of yesterday we gave ;
a summary of the mandatory portions
of Gov. Holden', proclamation, for the
purpose of re establishing the govern?
ment of North Carolina. Wc proceed
now to give the e-hortatory portions
addressed severally to the two disses
of the people, the whites firs! and the j
blacks next:
And now, as Provisional Governor
of the Slate, I invite the loyal people
thereof to resume with cheerfulness,
and with confidence tn the future, their
accustomed pursuits; and I invite those
who have been driven from the State,
bv despotic power, to return; assuring
. ai! loyal citizens of the State that they
will be protected in their persons and
propertv, and encouraged in their ex?
ertions io improve tlftir condition. I
also exhort them not to cease to take
tin interest in public affairs, but to
unite with inc in the purpose to recon?
struct the State Government through
the aid of loyal citizens; and to be
vigilant and active in discouraging dis- j
loyal sentiments, and in ensurin. the !
election ut known friends'of the \" ede- i
ral Go vertuneu t to every office. Your
experience, fellow citizens, during the
rebellion should attach yon by the
strongest ties to tho Government of
the United States. You have just
. been delivered by the armies of tho
Union from one of tho most corrupt
and rigorous despotisms that ever
existed ?D the world. Many of you
have been throed, tor opinion's sake,
and because of your love for the flair
ol your fathers to fly bom the land of
your birth or of your adoption, and
peek refuge among strangers, to
escape the hand of arbitrary power.
Many of you have been torn from
your homes, or humed down like wild
beast? in thc forest, and forced into the
rebel annies as conscri its, to fi^lit for
the continued enslavement of the co- !
. lored race, and aiso for a state of j
slavery for yourselves 'and your chil?
dren. Some of you have been sub?
jected to imprisonment and tortures
on account of your opinion?; au_ all.
of you have been deprived for years,
r.p to a recent period, of freedom of
sp ech and of the press, and uf every
essential guarantee of liberty and of
protection ito person and property,
which is contained in the Constitution
of the United States. You aro once
more free citizens of the United States.
By your sufferings in th? past, and by
your hopesfor the" future, I adjure you
to guard well your freedom. Remem?
ber that all that you have, and all you
. can hope to be, and all of good that is
in reserve for your children, are indis?
solubly bound up with the American
Union. The 'unity of government,
which constitutes us ono -people,'
should be more dear to us than ever,
on account of the sufferings through
which we have passed. lu the lan?
guage of Washington, 'it is of infinite
moment that you should properly
estimate the immense value of your
National Union to your collective and
individual happiness; that you should
cherish a cordial, habitual, and immo?
vable attachment to it; accustoming
yourselves to think and to speak of it
as the palladium of your political safety
.Mid prosperity, watching for ils pre?
servation with jealous anxiety; dis
countenancing whatever may suggest
even ?. suspicion that :.t can in ar;v
every attempt to alienate one portion
i of our country from the rest or to en
feeble tho sacred ties which now link
j together the various parish
To the colored people of the State
I would say, you aro now free. Pro*
vidence has willed that the very means
adopted to render your "servitude per?
petual, should bc His instruments for
releasing you from bondage. It now
remains for you, aided as you will be
by the superior . intelligence of- the
white race, and cheered by the sym?
pathies.'^ all good people, to decide
whether the freedom thus suddenly
bestowed upon yon, will be a blessing
to you or a source of injury. Your
race has been depressed by your con
ditton of slavery, and by the legislation
of your former masters, for two hun?
dred years. It is' not to be expected
that you can comprehend and appro
ciate as they shoulH be comprehended
and appreciated by a ??If governing
people, the*visij provisions and limita?
tions of constitutions and laws; or
that you cnn now have that knowledge
of public affaira which is necessary to
qualify you to discharge all the duties
uf tho citizen. No people has ever
yet bounded ?it once into the full on
joyrnent of the t igdit ot sell government.
But you ure free in common with si 1
our. people, and y ?io ha>e the same
right, regul ted Iv,- la v, that others
have, to enter* upon the pursuit of
prosperity-and happiness. You should
henceforth sacredly e"bserve the mar?
riage relation, and you should provide
for your offspring. You can now not
j only learn to re.iA yourselves, :;s some
of you have been able to do hereto?
fore, but you can instruct others, and
procure instruction from others fer
yourselves and your children, without
fe*ar of punishment. But. to be pros?
p?rons and happy you must labor. oot
morely w$?en you feel like it, or for a
scanty support, but industriously and
8teadi!_ .. a view to making aqd
laying i.. -omething for yourselves
and your .unilies. If you are idle
you will become vicious and worth'..---;
if vicious and worthless, you will have
no friends, and will at lust perish. 'In
the sweat of thy face shall, thou eat
bread *all the flays of thy life.'
The same Providence that hrts^be
stowed freedom upon yon. hus 'told
you that diligence tn business is re?
quired of all his creatures; and yon
cannot expect that your rac j wili
escapo ultimate extinction, if yoYj
wilfully violate or disregard this, one
j of His great commands. Free ion:
! does not mean that otto reay do ns hf
I pie -ses, but that every one may, by
! industry, frugality, and temperance
improve his condition and enjoy tia
fruits of his own labors, so long a's hi
i obeys the laws. I have no prejudice
I against \ ou. On tba contrary, whili
I am a white mrn, and while my Io
! is with my own color, yet Irympathizi
with yon asjthe weaker race; and '
I cannot forget that during- the robellioi
I many ol" you fought .lor the prefer
I vation of the Union, and, that thosi
of you who remained at home in tin
thea slaveholding States-, were,, for tin
most, part, docile and faithful, ?:i<
made no attempt by force of anns ti
gain even their own freedom. I wi I
see to it as far as I can, that you hav
I your liberty; thai you are protected ii
j your property ariel lier soii:>; and tba
j you aie paid your wages.
But, on the other hand, I will se
j my face against those of you who ar
idle and dissipated, and prompt pur
ishment will bo inflicted lor an
breach of the peace or violation c
law. In fine, I will be your'friend a
long as you are true tn yourselve
and obedient io the laws, and as lor.
as you shall labor, no matter bo'
.feebly, if honestly and earnestly, t
j improve your condition. It ts nj
j duty, as far as I may, to fernier lit
I Government 'a terror to evil doers, an
I a r::?ise ;o them that do well;'-an
j thia I will endeavor to .do in rein:ie
to thc tthole people ot* thc Stale ?
f North Carolina, 'without fear, favo
or affection, reward, or, the hope of
reward.*
And now, 'with charity for all, with
malice towards none,' I enter upon
tho discharge of the- duties assigned
mo by tho President, earnestly and
? solemnly invoking the good people of
the State I'- *id mo in the work of
reconstructing the Government, and in
restoring thc Stute to the protection,
benefi'8, and blessings of the Union.
.Done at our City ot Raleigh, the 12th
